QuoteI see....All those footballers that lie about their age are girls

Plus the male celebrities that look 40 and claim 27

Are you kidding me? Society expect you to marry at the age of 25 max. You are already 34 and not married.

Almost the same reason men lie, society expect you to be successful at 35. You are already 45 and still hustling.
So you wouldn't tell lies to make you look younger?

They think something is wrong with you if you pass this stage without achieving these things.
For me, it's more of societal pressure than any other thing.

QuoteNow you get it. This is not just about marriage, a job that a 40 year old could fit in and do well, some companies would say they only need someone of 21 years. Some of them would even say this 21 year old should have master's degree. So, I think it's more of individual and society encouraging the lie

You forgot to add...Plus 7 years work experience

QuoteNow I see why they lie. It's like most people prefer the comforting lie, because I don't understand why you would leave all other good qualities in a person and say you wouldn't marry her because of few years age gap.

QuoteWell, if I truly love her, I wouldn't mind

That's you, most men wouldn't, truly

QuoteMany guys will not marry someone older than them no matter what. I mean more than 80% of guys

QuoteCan you imagine....If she told the guy the truth, he would have still went ahead with the marriage. Why lie about your age FFS?

It could happen with both genders. And the reasons vary, it could be due to certain age limit for some job or because a lady fall in love with a guy younger than her or you just naturally want people to see you as a younger or older person (Some people add to their age as well).

I know a lady who lied to the guy she married because the guy was 35 then while the lady was 37. Babe had to lie she was 3years younger when they met, making her 34 by the time they married. I don't know if the guy later finds out, but the truth is things like these happen more often than we can imagine.

And don't tell me you are judging all girls from the perspective of just one school mate of yours.

Lol...It's common among them, I only used that as an example.

Revealing your age automatically put you in your level, not necessarily mean you are old.

Quote from: Rocco on Feb 22, 2024, 05:54 PMBecause they don't want you to perceive them as old person.

But how come you know they're reducing their age?

I met a girl in school and what she told me was different from what she has on some forms I later saw with her. She didn't know I observed the age part though.

Because they don't want you to perceive them as old person.

Why don't girls like to disclose their real age? If some of them eventually tell you their age, they have already reduced like 5 years or more from the age.

Why do ladies find it hard to tell their real age?
